Removal Instructions

To remove the Vodafone Mobile Broadband application:  Open Applications/Vodafone Utilities  Double-click ‘VMB Uninstaller’  Select ‘Remove application only’ to uninstall the application but retain your settings and data (eg. SMS messages). Or, alternatively, select ‘Remove everything’ to uninstall the application and delete your settings and data  Confirm your selection by clicking ‘Yes’  Enter your Administrator password to allow the Uninstaller to run Known Issues and Limitations

Software:  If a device does not keep count of the number of times the PIN is incorrectly entered, the Vodafone Mobile Broadband application will attempt to keep count. In some situations, this counter is not precise.  The connection duration time is relative to the system time (similar to Wi-Fi connections).  Update manager: If you download an update, cancel its installation and then try to install the same update again straight away, the installation will complete but the main Update Manager window will not close automatically; you'll need to close it manually. This does not affect the update process itself.

Devices – General:  Changing the SIM PIN2 with PUK2 is possible with the following devices: Vodafone K3565-Z, K3570-Z, K3571-Z, 3770-Z, K3772-Z, K3805-Z, K3806-Z, K4510-Z, K3806, K5006-Z. The other devices cannot handle the PUK.  The following devices support a PIN2 / PUK2 remaining attempt counter: Vodafone K3770-Z, K3772-Z, K3805-Z, K3806-Z, K4510-Z, K3806.

ZTE Devices:  Using several different Vodafone devices manufactured by ZTE (eg. K3565-Z and K3765-Z) on the same Mac may cause a ‘SIM not detected’ error message to be shown.
